How do you make rich fruit cake?

Answer 1

Mainly served at Christmas, the fruit cake is one of the most maligned desserts. Fruit cake tossing competitions and comparisons to bricks have done nothing for the image of these cakes. If you have ever been curious about tasting a fruit cake, you should first know how to slice it. Since it is so rich, fruit cake needs to be sliced extremely thin. It is easy to do if you follow these tips. # Step 1 Place the fruit cake into the refrigerator overnight or in the freezer for 1 hour before serving. The chilled cake will be easier to slice without it falling apart. # Step 2 Place the fruit cake on the platter. Cut a square of wax paper large enough to allow you to use it to hold the fruit cake. This will prevent your hand from sticking to the fruit cake, and it will keep the cake clean. # Step 3 Using a very thin, serrated knife, cut a single slice off of the end of the cake less than 1/8 of an inch thick. Let the slice tip over onto the serving plate naturally. # Step 4 Dip the knife into the warm water and wipe it off with the towel or paper towel. # Step 5 Repeat steps three and four until the desired amount of fruit cake has been sliced. # Step 6 Wrap the remainder of the cake tightly in wax paper and store in the freezer. # == #* Fruit cake Thin, serrated knife Refrigerator Serving platter Bowl of water Clean towel or paper towels Wax paper

Heres a simple recipe to make an amazing fruit cake!!!

First add 500g of mixed fruits (of any kind)

1 cup of brown suger

60z of lurpack butter (i find lurpack creates the nices flavour!!)

1 cup of water and a tea spoon (or a small spoon-ful) of mixed spices.

add 2 cups of self raising flour

3 eggs and some alcohol (whisky brandy gin)

Put first paragraph of ingredients into a saucepan (the fruits, brown suger, butter and water) and bring to the boil and allow to cool (you can tell by putting the back of your hand onto the side of the pan). After you have done this add the second lot of ingredients (eggs, alcohol and flour)

Bake this at 150c for 2 hours.

Then enjoy!
